Casting a wide net to fight coronaviruses
Coronaviruses-the family of viruses that causes the common cold-gained widespread recognition when the deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome, familiarly known as SARS, killed at least 800 people in 2003.   view more (2005-09-06)

Master genetic switch found for chronic pain
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that eliminating what appears to be a master genetic switch for the development of pain-sensing neurons knocks out the animals' response to "neuropathic pain."   view more (2006-01-26)

Regular, moderate exercise reduces the risk of colds in postmenopausal women
Postmenopausal women who want to decrease their risk of colds would be well advised to dust off their sneakers and get moving, suggests a new study led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.   view more (2006-10-26)

UA scientists seek new emphases in Arctic climate change research
Much of circumpolar Arctic research focuses on the physical, direct changes resulting from climate warming such as sea ice retreat and temperature increases.   view more (2009-09-11)

Genetic differences in clover make one type toxic
That clover necklace you make for your child could well be a ring of poison. That's because some clovers have evolved genes that help the plant produce cyanide - to protect itself against little herbivores, such as snails, slugs and voles, that eat clover.   view more (2007-10-02)

Brown University Geologists Create 5-Million-Year Climate Record
Using chemical clues mined from ocean mud, Brown University researchers have generated the longest continuous record of ocean temperatures on Earth.   view more (2006-04-07)

CU-Boulder research provides new view of the way young children think
For parents who have found themselves repeating the same warnings or directions to their toddler over and over to no avail, new research from the University of Colorado at Boulder offers them an answer as to why their toddlers don't listen to their advice: they're just storing it away for later.   view more (2009-03-25)

Health experts urge supermarket pharmacies to 'get smart' about free antibiotics
As influenza season shifts into high gear, with 24 states now reporting widespread activity, the nation's infectious diseases experts are urging supermarket pharmacies with free-antibiotics promotions to educate their customers on when antibiotics are the right prescription-and when they can do more harm than good.   view more (2009-02-26)

Metabolic insight to illuminate causes of iron imbalance
New insight into key players in iron metabolism has yielded a novel tool for distinguishing among root causes of iron overload or deficiency in humans, the researchers report in the August issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. While the body needs iron to produce hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to... view more... (2008-08-06)

El Ni'ħo was more intense 4000 years ago
Examination of fossil corals on Vanuatu have enabled scientists from IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement, ex-Orstom) based at Noumea to reconstruct the sequence of variations in sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwest Pacific Ocean that occurred over a period of 50 years, 4200 years B. P. (in the Holocene). Although... view more... (2000-11-07)

CSHL scientists successfully target tumor microenvironment to stop cancer growth
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers led by Daniel Nolan and Assistant Professor Vivek Mittal have found that bone marrow (BM) derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a critical role in the early stages of tumor progression and that eliminating EPCs stops cancer growth.   view more (2007-06-18)

Live H5N1 avian flu virus vaccines show protection in animal studies
When tested in mice and ferrets, experimental vaccines based on live, weakened versions of different strains of the H5N1 avian influenza virus were well-tolerated and protected the animals from a deadly infection with naturally occurring H5N1 flu viruses.   view more (2006-09-13)

Unmasked and vulnerable
Donning a face mask is an easy way to boost protection from severe respiratory illnesses such as influenza and SARS, new research from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has found, but convincing a reluctant public and health workers is proving a struggle.   view more (2009-01-26)

Neuroscientists Show Insulin Receptor Signaling Regulates Structure and Function of Brain Circuits
A team of neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has demonstrated for the first time in living animals that insulin receptors in the brain can initiate signaling that regulates both the structure and function of neural circuits.   view more (2008-06-19)

Genomics reveals mechanism of heat resistance in bacteria
Warm-blooded creatures maintain a relatively stable body temperature that cannot tolerate the stress of intense heat (or cold).   view more (2005-08-23)

Antibody reduces incidence of acute rejection in high-risk kidney transplant patients
Nearly 70 percent of kidney transplant patients get short-term drug therapy initially administered during surgery to help prevent rejection.   view more (2006-11-09)

Global warming predicted to hasten carbon release from peat bogs
Billions of tons of carbon sequestered in the world's peat bogs could be released into the atmosphere in the coming decades as a result of global warming, according to a new analysis of the interplay between peat bogs, water tables, and climate change.   view more (2008-11-07)

Extreme machine simulates space conditions
Conditions in space are unlike anything we experience on Earth. Incredible extremes of temperature that can switch in an instant, startling vacuum conditions, not to mention radiation - it`s a tough life for a spacecraft. So it is essential to make sure they are prepared to withstand these conditions before they are launched into this wholly... view more... (2002-05-07)
